A Chinook (King) salmon (Genus Oncorynchus) can jump out of water with a speed of 6.75 m / s . If the salmon is in a stream with

water speed equal to 1.65 m / s , how high in the air can the fish jump if it leaves the water traveling vertically upwards relative to the Earth?

Answer:

The maximum height that the fish can jump is 2.19 m.

Explanation:

Hi there!

Please, see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem.

The motion of the salmon is a parabolic one because when it jumps, it already has a horizontal velocity (see figure).

The position and velocity vectors of the salmon at a time t, can be calculated as follows:

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)

v = (v0x, v0y + g · t)

Where:

r = position of the salmon at time t.

x0 = initial horizotal position.

v0x = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

y0 = initial vertical position.

v0y = initial vertical velocity.

g = acceleration of gravity.

Looking at the figure, notice that at the maximum height, the vertical velocity is zero (because the velocity vector is horizontal). Using the equation of the vertical component of the velocity, we can obtain the time at which the salmon is at its maximum height:

vy = v0y + g · t

To find the initial vertical velocity, v0y, let´s look at the figure. Notice that the initial velocity is the hypotenuse of the triangle formed with the horizontal velocity and the vertical velocity. Then:

v0² = v0x² + v0y²

Solving for v0y:

v0y = √(v0² - v0x²)

v0y = √((6.75 m/s)² - (1.65 m/s)²)

v0y = 6.55 m/s

Now, using the equation of the vertical component of the velocity at the maximum height (vy = 0):

vy = v0y + g · t

0 = 6.55 m/s + (-9.8 m/s²) · t

-6.55 m/s / -9.8 m/s² = t

t = 0.67 s

Now, using the equation of the vertical position at t = 0.67 s, we can find the maximum height:

y = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²

y = 0 m + 6.55 m/s · 0.67 s + 1/2 · (-9.8 m/s²) · (0.67 s)²

y = 2.19 m

The maximum height that the fish can jump is 2.19 m.

A 0.500-kg mass suspended from a spring oscillates with a period of 1.50 s. How much mass must be added to the object to change
Daniel [21]

Answer:

389 kg

Explanation:

The computation of mass is shown below:-

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

Where K indicates spring constant

m indicates mass

For the new time period

T^' = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m'}{k} }

Now, we will take 2 ratios of the time period

\frac{T}{T'} = \sqrt{\frac{m}{m'} }

\frac{1.50}{2.00} = \sqrt{\frac{0.500}{m'} }

0.5625 = \sqrt{\frac{0.500}{m'} }

m' = \frac{0.500}{0.5625}

= 0.889 kg

Since mass to be sum that is

= 0.889 - 0.500

0.389 kg

or

= 389 kg

Therefore for computing the mass we simply applied the above formula.

Must physics always be explained by math?
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Because Physics is mainly composited of math

Explanation:

If you really think about it the only way any science works is off maths, whether that be measuring the amount of NaOH to put into a solution or determening the amount of sugar you want in a cake it all relys on maths

Physics question A spacecraft descends vertically near the surface of Planet X. An upward thrust of 25.0kN from its engines slow
Evgesh-ka [11]
 F=m*a and m is constant on any planet 
25000-m*g=m*1.2 
10000-m*g=-m*0.80 
m*g is the weight 
25000/1.2-m*g/1.2=m 
10000/0.80-m*g/0.80=-25000/1.2+m*g/1.2 solve for m*g 
m*g=(10000/0.80+25000/1.2)/ (1/1.2+1/0.80) 
16 kN

If you wanted to detect x rays coming from the sun, where would you place the detector? Why?
Damm [24]
You would have to place your sensor above earth's atmosphere because it blocks out nearly all x-rays. this is why we have the Chandra observatory

hope this helps
